Polychronos,
What version of R:Base are you using?
Before R:Base 6.5+, to get a european currency format to display, you
would have had to change the delimit character, which would have
caused problems in r:style and r:code. Oliver Reuter demonstrated and
explained the problem to Wayne at the 2000 Developers Conference.
A fix was included in the December, 2000 release of 6.5+ Below is
from the file RBWIN65P.TXT, dated December 29, 2000:
==============================================
November 14, 2000
R:BASE 2000 (ver 6.5) for Windows - Pre In-Line Patch-3
(1.837FxRT03)
Enhancements
02. Support for the DECIMAL CHARACTER to be COMMA and still
use the comma for a DELIMITER. (#1007)
Note: You can only SET such setting at the mighty R> prompt or
in a command/procedure file.
==============================================

currency setting is display only. Set the currency to whatever you
wish, and do the same with the delimit character. One does not affect
the other in any way.
